The Rise Of Nathalia Carter Chapter 705
Advertisement
The house was in the suburbs, some distance from the airport. She was worried that she couldn't catch the flight.
"Don't worry. We could get there in one hour if there was no traffic jam."
Then the car rushed out.
Unluckily, there was a traffic jam on the highway.
"Angelo, we only have half an hour. I'm afraid that we can't get to the airport."
Hale said apologetically after checking the time.
"No way!"
How could she give up the chance to go abroad with Drake? If she couldn't win him back, she might lose her place in the Thorne family forever. Then she would mean nothing to the Hill family, who would break off the marriage. She would not be able to avenge.
Just then, she saw a motorcycle parking on the side, an idea occurred to her.
"Hale, do you have cash? Lend me two thousand dollars."
"What are you going to do, Mr. Angelo?" Hale asked and gave all the cash he had to her.
Angelo took over the money and winked at him. She took out her passport from the package and put it in her pocket. Then she opened the door and got out of the car.
"I want to buy it," Angelo said to the owner of the motorcycle.
"Are you crazy?"
The owner glanced up and down at Angelo, who was wearing a handmade suit without a logo, and there was some contempt in his eyes.
"Two thousand."
While saying, Angelo handed the money to the owner, who took it over at once and then smiled after counting it.
"Take it. It's yours!" The man said, got off the motorcycle.
Hale then realized what Angelo was going to do. He looked at the road and sighed, "Mr. Angelo, even the motorcycle can't go through. I don't think it will work."

The man heard Hale and ran away for fear that Angelo would regret it.
But Angelo made a gesture of OK to Hale.
The motorcycle couldn't go through because the cars were too close, which, however, wasn't a big deal for her.
With a roar, Angelo rode off on the motorcycle. She turned the speed to the maximum and went through the curves.
People sighed at her amazing driving skills, some even recorded it, which Angelo didn't notice at all.
When she arrived at the airport, she heard the check-in warning and hurried over with her passport.
Finally, she got on the plane. Her seat was in the first class, there were few people, and she saw Drake at a glance.
She sat next to Drake, who was reading the newspaper and didn't notice her.
"Drake."
She waved her hand in Drake's face. Drake froze, then turned to look at her.
"What are you doing here?"
At this time, Angelo should be at home reading a book or going to a party. Why was "he" here?
Angelo didn't know how to answer him, she had not thought of a good excuse.
Sensing Drake's anger, Angelo came up with an excuse.
"Hale said you are not used to eating outside and asked me to cook for you," she said and looked at Drake nicely. But in her heart, she said, "Don't blame me for dragging you down, Hale. I can't find any other excuse."
Drake's face grew colder. He closed the newspaper and looked at Angelo.
"Are you the master or the servant?"
Angelo was the young master of the Thorne family. Cooking was not something "he" should do.
Angelo didn't know how to reply. She rolled her eyes and thought of another excuse.
"I want to go abroad to travel."

"You can't."
Drake coldly refused without hesitation. He went to work, not to travel.
"Are you going to throw me off the plane?"
Angelo looked sad, pointing at the window.
Drake frowned and looked at his watch.
"The plan will land in two hours. Then you fly back. I will ask Hale to buy you a ticket." There was firmness in words.
Angelo was worried, but when she thought of her place in the Thorne family, she gritted and said, "No, I won't go back. I want to be with you. I'm willing to be your maid."
While saying, she covered her ears, closed her eyes, and played scoundrel.
Looking at Angelo, Drake's heart somehow softened, and his mouth curled up. He wanted to agree to any of "his" requests.
But soon, he stopped thinking, turned his head away, and covered his eyes with the newspaper.
All right, he should take care of his brother and make him happy.
Angelo didn't hear Drake's voice for a long time. She opened her eyes and was confused when she saw Drake cover his face with the newspaper.
"Drake." She called him, waving her hand in front of his face.
"Shut up." A cold voice came from under the newspaper.
"All right. I'll shut up,"
After so many days together, Angelo started to know Drake and knew that he agreed.
She didn't say anything more but thumbed up for herself in her heart. Her first step succeeded.
Two hours later, the plane landed at France airport. They stood up from the seats.
Drake took off his trunk, but Angelo stayed still.
"You only have a passport with you?" Drake's tone was cold.
Angelo turned her head away. She came in a hurry. The less she carried, the more convenient it was.
She pretended to look around, but the smile on her face grew more awkward.
From Angelo's look, Drake knew that "he" didn't take any luggage. Instead of blaming Angelo, he smiled, took a card from his purse, and handed it to "him."
"Buy some clothes and book a presidential suite for yourself."
Angelo took over the card and nodded.
It was a black card, which meant a high limit it had.
Drake took his trunk and walked straight. Angelo followed up and grabbed his hand. When she raised her head, there was confusion in her eyes.
"Where are you going, Drake?"
Drake withdrew his hand and continue to walk.
"Hotel."
It was his answer.

Volume 1 of Fates Parallel is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited! Check it out here! Also available on Audible! Volume 2 of Fates Parallel is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited! Check it out here! Also available on Audible! After centuries of endless wars, the three greatest nations of the continent have come together in peace. As a symbol of their cooperation, they have worked together to establish the Grand Academy of Spiritual, Martial, and Arcane Arts, a place where the best and brightest of each nation can gather on neutral ground and share knowledge, techniques, and cultures. Can the peace truly last, or is the academy just another proxy for the constant conflicts the three nations face? None of that matters to Lee Jia, a homeless young girl who's biggest concern is surviving the winter. But when she accidentally stumbles into the academy in search of a new place to stay, her destiny is changed forever. Determined to carve out a new place for herself and make the most of her good fortune, Lee Jia dives head first into the world of magic and martial arts. Fates Parallel is my first serious attempt at writing a story, and a personal love letter to Eastern fantasy and xianxia stories. It's heavily inspired by East Asian culture, folklore, and mythology, with what is likely going to be a decidedly Western artistic license. I try to write every day, with a goal of about 45,000 words per month (~1500 per day). Chapter lengths are around 3000 words on average, releasing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Cover art drawn by the incredibly talented Tsuu (TsurotArtistry).

A troll scamming children out of their hard earned 10 gold and making more hardcore players rage quit for the day. Or something else. Kyle was a simple player, he always picked the strangest classes or jobs and his characters almost looked the same. He played for the combat, he played for the grind and he played for his guild but above all he played for the story. Kyle is a roleplayer, one who enjoys the simple parts of this virtual life. Whether his guild was starting a war or ending one he'd always have his drammatic entrence or exit, his decleration of annihalition or demand of surrender. After all that? He divulged himself in the game's story, the interaction with NPCS (Non Player Characters) and their advanced AI. He went through many questlines, many tales of heroics and many more adventurers of legend but one thing always remained true with his character. Kyle absolutely loved to the play the villain. But when game turns reality, what will he and his guild of twisted personalities do?

Witchbone: The Goblins Winter
Themes found in these stories include friendship, found family, defying negative expectations, trying to figure out how to be a force for good in your corner of the world, doing heroic things even if you don't look or feel like a hero, and that being different isn't necessarily fatal.

His father is dead, his mother left years ago. His three Keepers are the only people aware of Danny's erratic and not-very-impressive psychic abilities. He has no friends, he's been suspended from school, and he's responsible for the life of a small brown bat that's ended up in his care. When Danny's estranged Uncle Enoch dies under mysterious circumstances, he and his Keepers are called to the town of Eddystone, New Hampshire for the reading of the man's will. Traveling four hundred miles from his dreaded hometown to attend, Danny is happy to get away, possibly inherit something interesting- and maybe find out more about his family while he's there. Arriving at the crumbling family estate of Gnomewood Home, he finds it to be hauntingly familiar, a bit creepy, oddly comforting, and possibly alive. When his uncle's will reveals that he's inherited Gnomewood and everything in it, he's determined to stay and make a happier life for himself in Eddystone, somehow. But at Gnomewood, he finds more questions than answers to his family's secrets. Disturbing old memories come to him in dreams. His psychic abilities begin to grow stronger, and as a result he becomes aware that a horde of cryptic creatures are plaguing the town of Eddystone, seemingly drawn out by the spell of an unusually frigid February.

Will the emergence of the alien, and potentially dangerous, power he's inherited from his peculiar family tree help Danny survive the goblin infested winter, inadvisable attempts to befriend a terrifying boy with silver eyes, and a new school? Only if he learns to control them before they put him and everyone around him in danger. Before they convince some people that he should never have been allowed to exist at all. Before he becomes just another twisted tale in his family's bizarre history, kept hidden for centuries within the ivy-covered walls of Gnomewood Home.
